I'm going to guess she sucks at what she's she's she sucks.

And so does his dad, Joseph Bankman.

Oh, good.

Joseph is also a lawyer.

He is a graduate from Yale.

His big claim to fame was developing a proposal for an overhaul of the California tax return system that would have filled out citizens tax returns in advance.

And I know I just said he sucked, but actually that sounds like a good thing.

I think that that's actually a cool thing to advocate for.

The measure failed by one vote after heavy lobbying from Intuit, a tax prep software company.

One vote.

Yeah, it kind of is.

It's it's total bullshit because stuff it's the thing everybody agrees with on paper, but nobody will actually fight the tax prep companies, which is like, hey, the IRS like knows more or less what I make and like knows more or less what I owe.

Why don't I just get a thing from them?

Why do I have to go through this?

Like, anyway, there's no need.

Other countries do it that way.

We don't, though.

Well, and more to the point, because I don't actually think the IRS is advocating to keep it a pain in the ass.
